think we're in crete around seventeen hundred BC. So taking
a bath in your home now, not a public bath
like over and crete in all those places. I don't

you take a bath at home, that warm water, it
can reduce inflammation, relieve sore muscles, reduce the stress. So

Enjoy a nice good soap. Now you can really party
it if you have an oversized tough now that's the
way to go. Now if you ever want to bathe
